and lastly his Son Carl committed suicide. this all influenced how he wrote.
Robert Frost had a lot of poems, but "The Road not taken, stopping by woods on a snowy evening, nothing gold can stay, and
Fire and ice are most known.
Poems:
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay
.
THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening.
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sounds the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by And that has made all the difference.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
